European Union start surveilling the US surveillance programmes!

The European Parliament started the fight against the American spying practices (e.g. PRISM) and passed this week a resolution to investigate the (in)compatibility of these programmes with the EU law.

  • Protecting whistleblowers
  • Suspend air passenger and bank data deals?
  • Trade talks should not undermine data protection
  • Stronger data safeguards urgently needed
